The 15 Best HDD Repair and Data Recovery Technologies 2012
Force loading data recovery technology Force Loading helps repair damaged WD hdds whose SA areas are blocked. Force Loading is a creative technology that repairs hdd and provides direct access to a safe mode. If the hdd does not click and crack, then it grants access to the firmware area and repairs the damaged area there. This is a perfect and fast way to help users repair their WD hard drive that has been damaged by a firmware error. If the “force loading” works, one of the errors of the firmware is presented. Otherwise, it is a HEAD error.
LDR Charging and Smart SPT Acquisition – If the important ATA modules are not loaded, the disk cannot be initialized correctly or even recognized. In order to control, repair and act on the firmware, we need to load the LDR. The ATA modules must already be loaded in the buffer so that the disk can be restored and repaired.After the LDR is loaded in the buffer, the disks SPT information can be created automatically and the repair of the disk becomes easier. This execution helps us save time in repairs and restoration of Firmare damaged WD hdds.
ATA command – This feature is for advanced computer users and for those who can give ATA commands to operate on the HDD. If the commands are executed correctly, the HDD will respond with hdd again in the next analyses.
LBA on CHS It is difficult to locate the head or zones of the damaged area when the defective hdd is scanned and further to get the LBA address of the damaged area. This function is used to convert the LBA address to the CHS address to find out which head and which zone the malicious area has.
Extracted modules from the individual tracks For some WD HDD, which normally do not have access to their FW modules, the tracks can be read. Many users cannot judge whether and which FW modules are good or damaged. This unique feature can help extract the FW modules from their tracks and compare the checksums of all the extracted modules at the same time. After this process, the user can check the health status of each module and repair damaged modules.
ROM Deep Test This technology, which restores data, will perform the deep test and control the ROM content, except for the ROM modules. If an error is detected in the ROM contents, the DFL-WDII program will automatically and quickly send a message whether the ROM is malicious or not. This can minimize the risk of damaging the PCP by incorrect ROM writing.
Starting Address Editing This technology is mostly used for WD ROYL HDD according to the PCB 1640 series. This HDD remains busy instead of achieving a flawless status. The new technology allows to edit the DIR start address. Users need to change this address only slightly and the HDDs is ready. After this step, you have to use the Extract Modules from Track function to check the modules and finally restore the HDD and have access to the user area.
Quick Format SA Adrea – This technology, which restores data, is used to deal with defects in the SA environment. Module 30 and module 35 generate defective sectors (table with defective areas).
Format FW Area This technology is used to clean the SA environment before the Common FW and ROM repair. It can also be used to rewrite the FW modules to SA with logical malicious areas or other SA problems that cause FW spelling errors.
Regenerated ID modules The ID module is the module 02 of WD HDD an ID module damage is a very common WD hdd damage but it is not easy to find an error 02 of other hdds. This way of restoring data works by restoring Module 02 from the original FW modules. Users no longer have to spend time looking for errors. The success rate for resolving such problems has been maximised.
Write common repair FW This technology is mainly used to repair hdd. It increases the success rate of repairing the hdd with DFL-WDII standard FW modules. (The usual ROM modules are also integrated).
Module shifting This technology is used to recover data from the SA environment with damaged areas. If some important FW modules are identified in the environment with the physically damaged sectors, the hdd cannot be repaired by writing fw modules. The reason is that they are not describable. With this new method, all inactive tracks of the hdd can be listed and the problem modules can be removed with a simple click.
P-list Regeneration Technology The P-list is one of the two hard drive error lists, the other is called G-list. If damaged sectors are detected during the post-production test, it lists the P list (permanent or primary error table). P-list areas do not affect the speed of access, they are automatically omitted from the drive electronics. The P list is very important and the primary error table. It includes all defective sectors during the product process and ensures that the HDD works correctly and without interruptions during good condition.DFL-WDII has integrated a very powerful hdd repair function. It ensures that the original P-list is generated, you only have to click on a single button, then you can enter the data area via the P-list.
Online ARCO After much research on the low success rate of the Wd hdd self-test, DFL-WDII is now equipped with the latest technology to increase the success rate of repairing hdds. “One Button ARCO” is a combination of “6B TPI (Density) fix, 69 Capacity Settings and 46 Optimize”. Under “One Button ARCO” in the DFL-WDII hdd repair program you can find five independent self-tests, namely “6F Optimization-TouchDn Fix, ‘6A Optimize’-GAP R/W Fix, 46 Optimization – Complete Channel Optimization, 69 Optimization – Capacity Settings and 6B Optimization – TPI Correction” Older hard drives must run the ARCO with the following functions: 6f Optimize, 6a Optimize, 6b Optimize, 69 Optimize, 46 Optimize. For some drivers, ‘6a optimization before the 6f optimize’ must be executed before the 6f optimize, if not ‘6f optimize’ from the beginning.
TPI&CAP Setting This is a very useful technology for repairing data. Users can configure the HDD capacity, TPI and other parameters.
All described technologies are equipped with the most effective and professional DFL-WDII hdd repair function. We do not guarantee whether these tools actually work
